I got a new WD SATA HDD.  The bios and the device manager will recognize it but it doesn't show up in My Computer.

Anyone know how to resolve this?

you probs have to format it
right click my computer ---> manage ---> disk management ---> new partition
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Try

Control Panel --> Administration tools --> Computer Management? --> Harddrive Gestion?
(my windows is in French so I tried to translate it)

in there you should see your harddrive, just format it in NFTS or what ever it is.

Edit: Dammit max, go kill yourself

I was wondering about partitioning my hard drive without putting my Windows XP disk in the drive, but I think that's the only way, right? I can't find a way to create a new partition under disk management.

well if the HD already has a partition that spans the entire drive you can't create a new one without shrinking the old one. Best way to shrink is though Gparted which should be included in any decent linux live-cd

that shouldn't stop you from downloading knoppix, ubuntu or a gparted live CD
